Lagomar Virginia Beach Home Prices: What $800K Really Buys

By Megan Luker  |  September 13, 2026

Twenty-seven homes sold in Lagomar over the last six months, and only two of them closed under $800,000. One of those two was an auction. It sold as a fixer-upper in the spring, and it is back on the market today, fully renovated, at $1.1 million. The other one sold for more than the seller was asking: it was listed at $780,000 and it closed at $783,000. That is the bottom of this neighborhood — two sales out of 27.

Last week I told you that $750,000 does not buy you Lagomar, it buys you the front door of Lagomar. Today I am giving you the whole neighborhood: what it actually costs to live here, what is actually around you, and why Nimmo Parkway — a single road running straight through the middle of this neighborhood — changes both your high school zone and your price. I am not going to sell you on Lagomar. I am going to tell you the truth about it.

What Lagomar Homes Actually Cost Right Now

There are 12 homes for sale in Lagomar today. They range from $769,900 all the way up to $2.45 million, and the middle of what is listed sits at $968,000. Across the whole neighborhood, the median list price is $1,049,500, the median home measures around 3,691 square feet, and the median year built lands right around the year 2000. So when someone tells you Lagomar is a million-dollar neighborhood, that is not marketing. That is the middle of the market. See the full price breakdown at 2:08.

The Three Homes Under $800,000

Here is the part that matters most if you are working inside a PCS budget. Right now there are three homes you can buy in Lagomar under $800,000, and all three of them are priced within $30,000 of each other.

• The first home costs $769,900. It has three bedrooms and 2,400 square feet, it was built in 1987, and it sits on three quarters of an acre at the end of a cul-de-sac with no HOA.
• The second home costs $785,000. It has four bedrooms and 2,915 square feet, and it was built in 1985.
• The third home costs $799,900. It has five bedrooms and 3,034 square feet, and it was built in 1999.

Before you go any further, I want you to pull up your real number — the one you actually have, not the one you wish you had. In a neighborhood where the middle is a million dollars, the question is not whether you can find something under $800,000. It is whether the home you find is the one you actually want to own for three years. Hold on to that number, because the next one I give you is going to test it.

The Price-Per-Square-Foot Trap

Look at that second home again. It costs $15,100 more than the cheapest one, and you get 515 more square feet for that money. You are paying $15,100 to get 515 square feet, which works out to $29 for every extra square foot in a neighborhood where the going rate is $284 a square foot. Watch me run the numbers at 4:13.

So let me run the price per square foot on all three. The $769,900 home costs $321 a square foot. The $785,000 home costs $269 a square foot. The $799,900 home costs $264 a square foot. The median for this whole neighborhood is $284 a square foot. That means the cheapest home on the list is actually the most expensive one per square foot, and it is the only one of the three priced above the neighborhood's own rate.

That is backwards from what most buyers expect. Everybody assumes the cheapest home is the best value, and in this window right now, it is not. I showed you the same exercise in my Ocean Lakes breakdown a few weeks ago, except there it ran the other direction — the homes that cost the most in total dollars turned out to be the best value per square foot. Run the price per square foot before you fall in love with anything. It takes 10 seconds, and almost nobody does it.

One more thing about the money: none of those three homes has an HOA, and out here that is normal rather than a bonus. The lots are a big part of why people pay to live in this neighborhood.

What Is Actually Around You in Lagomar

The lots and the price are only half the decision. The other half is what your Saturday looks like once you live here. Take the tour of the area at 6:26.

Start with the beach. Sandbridge is right there — genuinely convenient, not a day trip. You are not fighting oceanfront traffic and you are not paying oceanfront prices just to live near the sand. Keep driving south and you hit Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge in about 18 minutes, and that is under 10 miles. It is one of the quietest places in this entire city. Hell's Point Golf Club sits five minutes away, under two miles, so if you golf you are not crossing water to play a round. The amphitheater is about 16 minutes out at 7.3 miles, which means a summer concert ends with a short drive home instead of an all-night ordeal. Sentara Princess Anne Hospital is about 15 minutes away at 6.5 miles, and that is the one I would want to know about before I moved anywhere.

The restaurants out here have caught up too, and a lot of that sits around Hickman Place, about five minutes and a mile and a half from Lagomar. That is where the Publix is, along with Whiskey Kitchen, Pelon's Baja Grill, Jose Tequila's, and a Panera Bread. A grocery store does not sound like news until you have lived somewhere where the grocery run was a 25-minute project.

Here is the whole point of that list: every single thing I just named sits inside about 20 minutes of Lagomar, and none of it puts you on a bridge or in a tunnel. If you have moved to Virginia Beach and Hampton Roads before, you know exactly what that is worth. Look at what this corner of the city sits between — Dam Neck is right there, and NAS Oceana is right there. I lived in this corner for over 22 years and I went through all of it in my Castleton video. The short version is that this end of the city keeps getting more convenient, not less. Hickman Place, Walmart, Target — those are all recent. The homes did not move. Everything else came to them. Hear the NAS Oceana and Dam Neck commute breakdown at 8:22.

The Nimmo Parkway Split: Ocean Lakes vs Kellam

This is the part almost nobody tells you, and it changes the way you read all three of those prices. Lagomar is not one school zone. Start here at 9:05.

Nimmo Parkway runs straight through this neighborhood and splits it in two. The newer section, built after 2000 and sitting north of Nimmo Parkway, is zoned for Ocean Lakes High School. The older section is zoned for Kellam High School. Both sides feed into Red Mill Elementary and Princess Anne Middle, so it is only the high school that changes. It is the same road that splits Red Mill Farm, which I covered last week. Across this entire corner of the city, Nimmo Parkway is the line that decides your high school.

Now go back to those three homes. They were built in 1987, 1985, and 1999. Every single home for sale in Lagomar under $800,000 right now was built before 2000, which puts all three of them in the older section. The least expensive home in this neighborhood that was built after 2000 costs $899,000. So if the high school is what you are buying for, you are not making a $30,000 decision inside this window. You are paying $129,000 more to get out of this window entirely. See the $129K gap explained at 10:13.

Please do not take my word for it. Pull up the Virginia Beach City Public Schools locator, type in the actual address, and confirm it yourself — then check it again before you write an offer, because these lines move. They have moved. What I am not going to do is rate those schools for you. That is not my call to make.

Who Lagomar Actually Fits

So here is the honest answer on fit, and it cuts both ways. Hear the full buyer-fit rundown at 11:10.

1. It fits you if you want land and freedom more than a newer build. No HOA is the norm out here, the lots are generous, and a 10-minute radius sounds like freedom to you instead of isolation. It also fits better when you are staying past one tour.
2. It does not fit you if you are set on the Ocean Lakes side. Right now, that side of this neighborhood does not exist under $800,000. The entry point there is $899,000.
3. It does not fit you if you are stretching to reach $769,900. You will own the smallest home on a street where the middle of the market measures 3,691 square feet, and you will feel that on the way back out. It also does not fit if you want to walk to the water — Sandbridge is at the end of the road, but that is a drive, not a walk.

The Questions I Hear Most About Lagomar

How much do homes cost in Lagomar in Virginia Beach?

Lagomar home prices in Virginia Beach currently run from $769,900 to $2.45 million, with a median list price of $1,049,500 and a median home size of about 3,691 square feet. Over the last six months, 27 homes sold in Lagomar and only two of them closed under $800,000. Every home listed under $800,000 right now was built before 2000, which puts all of them on the Kellam High School side of Nimmo Parkway.

Why did only two Lagomar homes sell under $800,000 in the last six months?

The bottom of this neighborhood is genuinely thin. Of the two that closed under $800,000, one was an auction that sold as a fixer-upper in the spring and is back on the market today fully renovated at $1.1 million. The other was listed at $780,000 and closed at $783,000, meaning it sold for more than the seller was asking. Against a median list price of $1,049,500, those two sales are the exception rather than the range.

Which high school is Lagomar zoned for in Virginia Beach?

Lagomar is not one high school zone. Nimmo Parkway runs through the neighborhood and splits it: the newer section built after 2000, north of Nimmo Parkway, is zoned for Ocean Lakes High School, and the older section is zoned for Kellam High School. Both sides feed Red Mill Elementary and Princess Anne Middle, so only the high school changes. Always verify the specific address with the Virginia Beach City Public Schools locator before you write an offer, because these lines do move.

Is the cheapest home in Lagomar the best value?

Not in this window. The $769,900 home costs $321 a square foot, the $785,000 home costs $269 a square foot, and the $799,900 home costs $264 a square foot, against a neighborhood median of $284 a square foot. The cheapest home on the list is the most expensive one per square foot and the only one of the three priced above the neighborhood's own rate. Running the price per square foot takes 10 seconds and almost nobody does it.

Is Lagomar a good fit for a family PCSing to NAS Oceana or Dam Neck?

It can be, because this corner of the city sits between Dam Neck and NAS Oceana and nothing in your daily routine puts you on a bridge or in a tunnel. Sandbridge, Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge, Hell's Point Golf Club, Sentara Princess Anne Hospital, the amphitheater, and the Hickman Place shopping and dining area all sit inside roughly 20 minutes. The trade-off is price: with a median list price over a million dollars and only three homes currently under $800,000, your VA loan and BAH have to line up with the section of the neighborhood you are targeting.
